I've read about a few articles against global warming, about how science is when you make a hypothesis and attack it and attack it again and see if the hypothesis still holds after you point every single con about it... they also stated how scientists use computer models to guess on something they don't understand and after reading these articles i think i need to see some solid proof that "global warming" is going to happen to believe it. But on most of the "global warming is gonna happen" sites, all they talked about was greenhouse gases,ice caps melting, sea level rises, etc. etc. On the sites showing global warming is false, they also showed that most people follow the popular consensus, some politicans even use all the people in America as a consensus (even though it should be a consensus of scientists at least )"Nuclear Winter" was also explained (tiny bit off topic) it was supposedly to cause the earth to cool down and a bunch of crap, however... a nuke (if i remember correctly) doesnt emit as many particles as oh lets say... a volcano, like mt st helans or umm... that one volcano in greece... So i'm just saying i need some pros and cons and crap, preferably unbiased which is impossible to find on the internet for political reasons, but i'd like to see everyone's view on it.But then again this thread is really a way to express views so express away!

i never really thought about global warming not happening. you hear all of this stuff in school about the greenhouse affect and what not, but how do they really know it can happen? if it did happen, it would take a while wouldn't it?

Truthfully, this should be intellectual exchanges. I'm just sayin, ya know. heres 2 good links for you:hereand here

EDIT: Dude, global warming is a very debatable scientific topic, and most debates on scientific topics should be intellectual exchanges. If you want somebody to argue with, you should just go to there, you wont get very good ones around here unless you educate me on it or koloth comes around, or another intelligent person.EDIT 2: Wait, is he using scientific words I dont understand, or is he misspelling things?EDIT 3: Actually, saw your profile. Please, no offense, but stay away from intellectual exchanges or use spell check. Not to mod or anything. I'm just sayin, you could get in trouble with big Willie. Just like how Felonys gonna get mad at me for posting this.

Doesn't exist. No one can say for sure that man-caused global warming is going to happen. But fluctuations in the Earth's temperature in the past have been determined through polar ice-core sampling. It's been determined that higher concentration of C02 in the atmosphere causes the Earth's temperature to rise.

CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The Earth is constantly being heated by the Sun's radiation. Naturally, the Earth attempts to disperse the heat into space around it, but a good majority of the heat the Earth is attempting to radiate back into space is either absorbed or reflected back by the CO2 in the atmosphere.

Originally, the Earth was extremely hot. As plantlife emerged and began converting the atmospheric C02 into precious oxygen, the C02 levels dropped and the Earth began to cool. Strangely, though, the Earth's temperature has been rising over the past few hundred thousand years (long before humans). This leads most to believe that the Earth has a cyclical nature of warming and cooling.

Therefore no-one can say that our combustion engines are contributing to the Earth's warming, but when you consider just how much C02 man is pumping into the atmosphere every day, it's only logical to believe that we're speeding the warming along. Better safe than sorry.

According to you timber, perhaps it's increasing because as humans, we cut down forests and such, therefor reducing the amount of oxygen created from c02. Or maybe i'm wrong. Oh well. It's a shitty theory.
